There is a lump of flesh in the inner corner of the eye, which may be caused by pterygium, blepharophimosis or keratoconjunctival dermatomas, etc. Patients can choose surgical excision, medication and other ways of treatment to alleviate the discomfort of the eye.
1. Pterygium: Patients with pterygium can see fibrovascular tissue growing toward the corneal surface and connected to the conjunctiva in the nasal blepharosphenoid region. When the pterygium is small and stationary, no treatment is needed. If the pterygium develops progressively, patients can undergo surgical treatment, such as pterygium excision combined with amniotic membrane transplantation, to relieve ocular discomfort.
2. Blepharospasm: Blepharospasm refers to the elevated conjunctival lesion in the blepharospasm region where the corneo-scleral rim joins, which usually requires no treatment. When the blepharospasm is congested, the surface is rough, and inflammation occurs, the patient can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor, such as Pranoprofen eye drops. If the patient’s lesion area is repeatedly inflamed, seriously affecting the appearance of the patient, the patient can be surgically removed from the lesion, to alleviate the discomfort of the eye.
3. Corneoconjunctival dermatoid tumor: Corneoconjunctival dermatoid tumor is a congenital benign tumor, the patient corneal margin can be seen as a round smooth elevated swelling, generally no treatment. If it affects the aesthetics or grows larger, patients may consider surgery to remove it and relieve eye discomfort.
It is recommended that patients with bulging lesions in the corneal margin should consult a doctor for evaluation of their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
